DC Universe Animated Original Movies General

Damn it, Barry!

But real talk, I wonder if they'll give him his ultimate moment from the OG COIE story (IYKYK) to redeem him.

I feel bad for him too cause clearly he didn't intend to cause all that.

As soon as I’m able, I’m going to buy the movies where the Justice League teams up with the Hunters and Huntresses we know and love.

Allegedly, the film features a Black Lightning that might have accidentally plagiarized a fan redesign that's been floating around for years. The artist of the original design, Samir Barrett (Emmy-winning work on Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur), is also currently working in the industry and raised the note about it.

Honestly Barry the Parriah of this movie seems kind of fitting his power set of being able to vibrate to different Earths and how impactful his sacrifice will be now that he is given a sort of redemption story in saving the multiverse.

Ditto foe Kara for being the Harbinger of the movie. Its actually amusing how the two characters who originally died in the event end up merging with the two characters originally created for said event

I thought the Pariah was supposed to be the Homeless Man/animated Nu 52 Constantine

I kind of assumed the homeless man was a future version of Barry given all the character’s non-linear appearance throughout the film which is actually a good call back to Barry’s non-linear temporal appirations throughout the original comics story

I will admit the pacing felt kinda weird on the Crisis movie, but I did like how they used Barry as the focal point.

Part 2 has a teaser trailer.

I think those are the Batman The Animated Series characters plus Huntress and Terry!

EDIT: Yup, the logline confirms it. "The battle for the multiverse continues as the heroes are joined by a visitor from a different time... Batman Beyond! With countless lives at stake, Supergirl takes action to save the multiverse in the powerful second chapter of DC's animated epic."

I don't really have any great interest in the Tomorrow verse or this take on Crisis except that It has Terry Mc Ginnis Batman. Did they get Will Friedle back for the voice?

So far there's been no word on whether Will Friedle will reprise his role as Terry here. Hopefully he does.

Turns out Kevin Conroy recorded lines as DCAU!Batman for the upcoming Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part 3 animated movie and as someone else in the Batman: Caped Crusader animated series.

Yay!

I'd put money down on his mystery character in Caped Crusader being Thomas Wayne.

Though my favorite non-Batman role for Conroy will always be that time he voice Phantom Stranger as Bruce's Shoulder Angel in Brave and the Bold, opposite Mark Hamill who voiced Spectre - playing the role of his Shoulder Devil.

Hooray! Kill the Justice League isn't his last role after all!

Glad he got to join in on this before his death.

Kevin Conroy will always be Batman.

Relieved to hear that his last actual role will still be Earth-12 Bruce in Crisis Part 3 to make things into a better full circle.

Oh, we're not doing spoilers. lol. Well that gives me hope that they got Friedle back as well. It'd be nice if he and Conroy got to do some last scenes together. :(

Let's just hope the DCAU isn't wasted badly and it doesn't go out on a whine, at least.

Crisis will apparently be the end of the animated movies trying to do expanded universes like the DCAMU and the Tomorrowverse, as the animated line will be joining Gunn's upcoming film universe

I can't say that I particularly liked a lot of the DCMAU or Tomorrowverse but that still feels pretty sad. Let them do their own thing!

Like almost every other decision DC makes, this one should be undone eventually.

From what I hear they will still be doing non-universe connected movies like one-offs and such like normal its just they will also be making animated films for Gunn's universe too.

They'll just stop doing another animated universe which considering how disliked they are, its an improvement on some level.

Heads up, but Bruce Timm debunked the appearance in Caped Crusader, so take IGN's report with a grain of salt.

This isn't connected to the direct to video films, but it's animated none the less.

A Batman Beyond film has been recently pitched by Writer/Director Patrick Harpin & Production Designer/Producer Yuhki Demers (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse):

5 months ago Patrick Harpin walked into WB Pictures and DC and pitched a Batman Beyond Animated Feature.

Before we pitched, they warned us "there is absolutely no way we can do a Beyond movie", but they loved our enthusiasm. We pitched the outline for the entire film, and what started as a 'never' turned into a 'maybe'.

In the time since, we've been pitching our way up the company hoping to get to James Gunn. But for now, here's a taste of what we've been cooking.

A Batman Beyond film with spiderverse production values would be amazing.

The only downside is having to recast at least one voice.
